 A Body in the Bath House - Lindsey Davis
 A Body in the Bath House - Lindsey Davis ... brilliantly researched and highly atmospheric thrillers set in ancient Rome. Lindsey Davis is currently ahead on points, and the latest Falco thriller, A Body in the Bath House, is quite the most diverting entry in the series yet. Steven Saylor's Gordianus the Finder series will have to scrabble to maintain this level. The highly impressive sleight-of-hand that Davis is so adept at is just as much in evidence here as in such previous entries in the series as Ode to a Banker: while the sights, sound and smells of ancient Rome are conjured up with a truly pungent verisimilitude, Falco's modern sensibility never jars, and this Philip Marlowe of the ancient world remains a perfect conduit for the reader.Newest Review: ... have fled to Britain. With his sister needing to keep a low profile and the Emperor making him an offer he cannot afford to ... more ... refuse, events seem to be cultimating to send him in pursuit. Reluctantly, Falco temporarily uproots his family and, against his better judgements, takes them across the ocean to supervise a building project fraught with mishaps and woefully spiralling over it's Imperial budget.
Right from the very beginning, Falco discovers that he is hardly the most popular person on site with every trade having their secret scams to hide and nobody looking favourably on his goverment-sanctioned snooping. Before long, it beg...more |

Imagine the scene.....you are attempting to build a royal palace for the King of the Britons but progress is very slow. Nick Knowles and his DIY SOS team haven't been born yet and the ROGUE TRADERS duo of Dan "the man" and Matt Allwright can't get their bike to go because the combustion engine hasn't been invented yet and so theres no petrol. Who else does that leave but Marcus Didius Falco, informer and general trouble-shooter to the Emperor.

I only paid 50p for it in Oxfam 
I wasted hours of my life reading this book The return of Bourne The book just doesn't work, it feels like a cheap way for Van Lustbader to get a lead character Main idea is interesting, although this is let down in execution. Poorly plotted & developed. Contrived motive & ending. Fairly well written with enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested Some plot holes Quite light and easy to read, a couple of very good stories Majority rather lack lustre and unoriginalAn Order for Death - Susanna Gregory
Puzzle for the Secret Seven - Enid Blyton
Runemarks - Joanne Harris
Great story and breathes new life into Norse Mythology Characters sadly lacking depth
Astonishing X-Men Volume 1 - Joss Whedon
Astonishes Lame adjective. Astonish? Puhlease
Night Tales: Nightshade & Night Smoke - Nora Roberts
A Place of Safety - Caroline Graham
Couldn't put it down None for me
Dreadful Tales - Richard Laymon
Horror - Laymon, Richard
This Is Your Song, Lola Rose - Donna Hay
Plot was quite good Poor characters, dragged on, left me feeling cold at the end
Tescopoly: How One Shop Came Out on Top and Why It Matters - Andrew Simms
Some eye - opening statistics; good material for supermarket opponents Very one - sided; poorly put together
Eden: It's an Endless World!: 1 - Hiroki Endo
The plot and knowledge of the author/artist is amazing May be offensive to christianity and other religions
